I heard from the MyOffice people a couple of days ago about their Facebook-based project management system. As that post and others make clear, I am really interested in the architecture they use, which essentially allows them to provide a service while handing Facebook the work of supplying other sorts of infrastructure.

They say that they’ll be working on lots of other functionality in the next few weeks. These include — and here I’m quoting from the email —

Great, and necessary moves. Their aim is to make MyOffice into “a robust project management tool.” And they do have a plan for monetization beyond ads, although they’re not ready to discuss it at present.

I’m considering using MyOffice for students’ project management next semester — it’s currently robust enough for that — and am interested in seeing how it matures. Check it out if you haven’t.

I found your post very interesting and I strongly recommend ProjectOffice.net. It is completely free of charge and gathers your team under the same virtual roof. ProjectOffice.net is a web-based project management solution that offers all-in-one functionalities: managing projects and tasks, time management, issue tracking system and increased team collaboration through wikis. ProjectOffice.net can be used by anyone who is involved in a project; from individuals all the way up to experienced project managers. A project can be anything from a ‘study’ plan for an upcoming exam all the way to constructing an Apartment Building.

Need Topsight?

Topsight is an overall understanding of the big picture. I’ve been achieving topsight into various organizations since 1997. Along the way, I’ve developed an approach in which I gather clues, confirm details, and model social interactions to systematically achieve topsight. I teach this approach in classes, workshops, and seminars. Let me help your organization achieve topsight.
